Influence of sewage on the content of trace elements in the soils of various erosion zones

Lublin municipal waste water effluent treated in two stages (mechanical and biological) was used in the monoliths filled with loess soil of an undisturbed structure taken from different erosion zones: W - top (grey-brown podzolic soil): D - bottom of the valley (deluvial soil); N - northern slope (brown soil - weakly eroded), S - southern slope (calcareous soil - strongly eroded). Control objects were the monoliths treated with equal amounts of water and nutrients: N, P, K, Mg. In the soils treated with sewage and water and mineral salts, a similar increase in the content of soluble metal forms (Zn, Cu, Mn, Pb, Cd, Ni) was observed.
